Session Description

Agonists of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1 RAs) are becoming an important player in diabetes itself, and in diabetic kidney disease for kidney and cardiovascular outcomes. Rapidly emerging data from randomized clinical trials offer a more and more granular view of the drugs' effectiveness and advance our understanding of their mechanism of action.

Support is provided by an educational grant from Novo Nordisk.
